Tom Cruise – Iron Man (Robert Downey Jr) in Marvel movies

Tom Cruise is quite the action hero, and we’ve seen him jumping off planes, buildings, and saving the day many times as the confidante agent Ethan Hunt in the Mission Impossible franchises. But did you know he passed on the role of the iconic Iron Man? Giving up a role that is part of the Marvel franchises not to mention the royal fans seems impossible to pass, and an odd career move. Wonder what made him pass on the role, but his lost was Robert Downey Jr. huge win, the film helped reignite Downey’s career with an epic comeback as the flamboyant billionaire Tony Stark AKA Iron man.
